Tono Zancanaro SATYRICON

Dario — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 17:03:17 +0000

The well-known artist Tono Zancanaro (Padua 1906-1985) illustrated numerous literary works, to name a few the “Bertoldo and Bertoldino” by G.C.Croce, “The war of the salamanders” by K. Capek, “The Divine Comedy” by D. Alighieri , “Votive and sepulchral EPIGRAMS” From the 6th and 7th book of the Palatine Anthology, the “Novelle” by G. Verga, numerous volumes of literature poetry and more.
The “Satyricon” was the first work he illustrated, but until today the sheets have always been published and exhibited in numerous exhibitions individually and not as a corpus. Although many works have been lost, this volume collects the 209 sheets that remain today in the Tono Zancanaro Historical Archive in Padua, in addition to the two specially made lithographic folders.
The drawings are preceded by a brief description of the “Satyricon” and its author, and of the editions used by Tono for his work, and followed by the complete text of the fragments that have come down to us from 60 AD.

Renata Solimini DAL SEGNO AL DI-SEGNO

Dario — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 16:15:44 +0000

The volume documents the artistic path of Renata Solimini starting from the elementary sign to arrive at the complete drawing with the use of color.
“Renata Solimini’s work is configured as a synthesis between sign, color and energetic movement. Her artistic research, influenced by studies on Chinese writing and oriental culture, has given life to a visual language capable of uniting apparently distant worlds. Her works, which range from pure abstraction to the symbolic use of color, become representations of sole balances and invisible movements, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a visual experience that transcends mere observation to become a dialogue between energy and form” (from the introduction by Tiziano Todi)

Renata Solimini ENERGON

Dario — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 17:39:17 +0000

The book documents Renata Solimini’s research path on “asemic writing”, from 1997 to today. Renata Solimini draws the stars, with the stars and in the stars: she builds, invents, dreams pulsating, kinetic and swirling universes where different spaces and times are juxtaposed, like pluriverses in which things exist, coexist and happen simultaneously.

Tono Zancanaro VIVERE PERICOLOSAMENTE

Dario — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:06:09 +0000

Tono Zancanaro’s story from a conscript to being called up to arms, with a note by Mario Rigoni Stern and a biography by Giorgio Segato.

Tono Zancanaro LE DONNE E GLI AMORI DI TONO

Dario — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 16:33:24 +0000

The monograph presents the women, real and imaginary, important in the life and work of Tono Zancanaro. Each female reference is accompanied by a description and a photographic corpus of works by the Paduan master.
Women are not only ethereal figures to be admired for the beauty of their forms, for Tono Zancanaro they are first of all human beings, who are fulfilled through work, and for this reason an important part of his works is dedicated to female work: from workers to peasant women, from intellectuals to mondariso. Some of Tono’s most significant works in both painting and ceramics are dedicated to the hard work of the weeders.

Tono Zancanaro GLOSSARIO

Dario — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 19:04:51 +0000

The volume includes the glossary of terms, places, people, characters referring to the works of the well-known artist Tono Zancanaro (Padua 1906-1985).
Why a Zancanarian glossary? Tono was very fond of inserting captions not only as titles, but also as an explanation of the context on the sheet, particularly in the political-satirical cycles of Gibbo (who was he?), of the Demopretoni (who are they?), of the neo Gibbo (gibbo again? ) and the Palagonese monsters (does the Prince of Palagonia have anything to do with it?), and already understanding, interpreting, reconstructing these writings is not easy. This lettering is always played by Tono on the calembour, on the meanings of the words and their possible interpretations, perhaps slightly altering or replacing a term, so for example the Mussolinian phrase “Every house a guardhouse” becomes gibbonically for Tono “Every house a pig-guard”.

Manlio Gaddi ANTONELLA MAGLIOZZI

Dario — Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:16:33 +0000

Illustrating Magliozzi’s vision is very difficult, between magmatic implosions, which allude to an ebb of images towards the indistinct, towards a state of equilibrium never reached, as if the constant of Le Chatelier were never reachable, and explosions that release forms winking, hallucinating and sometimes hallucinating. Appearance is played on non-symbolic elements, which do not close in their graphic outlines or in the chromatic scale, which is a dazzling traverse throughout the chromatic cycle.

Manlio Gaddi CHEN XIAOHONG. PITTURA GONGBI

Dario — Sun, 19 May 2013 15:54:12 +0000

“It is difficult for those accustomed to the canons of Western art, with its subjects and perspectives born of Piero della Francesca, to understand at first glance the spirit that animates Chinese painting, which belongs to another world, of which it maintains a the primordial spirit is still unchanged today, respecting techniques and subjects. In order to understand the work of the painter Xiaohong, it is necessary to have at least some elements that make it possible to read and interpret it. The foundation of Chinese painting is constituted by the famous “Six principles of painting “, defined for the first time by Hsieh Ho, in his famous treatise Ku Hua P’in Lu (which can be translated as Ancient chronicle of the classification of painters) written at the end of the 5th century AD. The first, which is undoubtedly the most important because it contains the essence of all Chinese pictorial art … ” (Manlio Gaddi)

Manlio Gaddi GIANMARIA LEPSCKY

Dario — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:20:52 +0000

The volume documents the rediscovery of Gianmaria Lepscky (1897-1965), a Venetian painter who had great notoriety before falling into oblivion from which he has recently been recovered thanks to two large retrospectives (2011 Complesso Monumentale San Paolo di Monselice and 2012 Monastero di Santa Maria in the Cividale del Friuli Valley). The monograph contains texts by Manlio Gaddi and Laura De Zuani, the biographical chronology, the recent bibliography and over two hundred reproductions of works, with ample space for studies and sketches for frescoes in churches and military ossuaries.
